De La Interlude

"Lonely, lonely. Oh woe is me, oh woe is me." I say The complex cycle I go through almost every day To my dismay, I imagine being in this set Me holdin' the 21st letter of the alphabet All my life I've been searchin' as if it's my obligation to find who? You But my patience grows thin 'Cause U is just a letter surrounded by a better Image of a sister who's new, but overdue for marriage Marriage takes discipline, a problem that exist within' The American culture I resist against But I must recall and I trust that all I've learned thru life is givin' way to a wife y'all 'Cause I want, not need, a companion to feed The knowledge I read and the lovin' I've received Through moms and my palms reads a long life So hey I pray for the day I have a strong wife Or a strong son or daughter or strong both Give them a foundation of values I think I'll make a great coach for them and warn 'em of sin And maybe by then, they can nip it in the bud before it begins, so hey If you're listening and U wishin' for a U like me that you have in store Maybe I could be the U for U And U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too I know you're there, I just haven't found U yet Gonna getcha five cent I'll bet If I lose it's five cents, if I win it's five decades more Of a life with a wife and 2 or 3 kids My parents want grandkids wit big heads like mine Runnin' and jumpin' on the bed with my brownish eyes There's sort of a pressure to be married and chilled With Terry gone, emotional gaps need to be filled So I'm sort of searchin', but only in my spare time Most of the time I'm busy workin' on a beat or rhyme I don't want just a sex partner, a female friend or buddy To be played with like silly puddy I want to be played with like clay on a spindle Wet it, mold it, bend it, let it hard, never dwindle That's called longevity Different than what U read and see On TV, so hey If you're listening and U wishin' for a U like me that you have in store Maybe I could be the U for U And U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too I don't know what's going wrong People always askin me oh Come on, come on, don't make me wait If you miss you might be too late That wouldn't be too great So I pray for a deep sister Take the life out on a nice date Never thinking ho or b***h or nuttin' like that That's a boys job, I'm a Mandé And I can do my thing in action Word! That's what's happenin' Have a funky Hungry Jack meal and set in My moms gives me daily lessons on cooking African Dishes. My wish is to be all I can be for U Who you Is? Me don't know. Only U I let down all my defenses Let you and your entire family in my sight (Only you) can relate to me (Only you) can relieve me In my world there's just us 3 You, me and G.O.D (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too (Maybe) I could be the U for U (Maybe) U could be the U for me too
